Re: A Prophet before one thousand years? - genetic lines

[Scott Saylors]

I see your point and agree, but would point out that we have accepted Shoghi Effendi before we read his family tree. In the future when a false claimant might arise, why should we accept his "genealogy as "true", when it could have been forged?

 

Its just a document, and we all know documents can be forged. We do have, after all, the example of Subhi Azal (Mirza Yahya) forgin the Bab's documents.

Scott

I give less positivism and more credit to traditions and genetic lines, Shoghi Effendi and Nabil liked to draw Ho! ly trees on religion and monarch’s trees, explaining much times meanings within (the Bible contains a lot).

 

Personally, I like to see the relations of Divine Lotus Tree. I think trace family trees is a good custom maybe related to ancient cultures as Hebrews. I invite you to see the genealogy of beloved Guardian here:

I am not trying to upset you. I am not joking. Think of it this way: In the future someone appears CLAIMING to be the next Manife! station and produces a family tree showing he is descended from Baha`u'llah. Why can that family tree NOT be falsified? So, in that insta! nce, it would prove nothing by itself. One would still have to make the decision to follow or not follow on a spiritual basis.
